2023: We are not for zoning- PFN

The Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN) has rejected the idea of zoning the presidency to a specific part of the country in 2023.

There has been agitation for power shift to the southern region of the country as President Muhammadu Buhari, a northerner, completes his eight years tenure in 2023.

Bishop Emmah Isong, PFN’s national publicity secretary, said the body is not interested in power rotation. He said, rather, Nigeria needs capable leaders irrespective of their region to solve the multiple problems of insecurity, corruption and economy.

Isong spoke at the Christian Central Chapel International 8 miles, in Calabar, on Monday.

The cleric stressed that focus should be on leaders with capacity, capability and integrity to solve the problems bedevilling the country.

He asked eligible voters, who are Christians, not to be swayed by politicians agitating power shift.
